    Get Certified in the NEW ITIL.
    Get Rewarded.

    Complete your ITIL® (Version 5) certification with Knowlathon this May — and win a luxury escape at an ITC Flagship Hotel.

    Offer valid only for enrolments completed and certified in May 2026.

    Be among the first in India to certify in ITIL® (Version 5)

    ITIL® (Version 5), launched by PeopleCert in January 2026, is the biggest evolution of the ITIL framework in years — built ground-up to be AI-native, digital-product-centric, and aligned with how modern organisations actually deliver value. The Foundation exam went live on February 12, 2026, and early certifiers are getting a meaningful head start.

    Knowlathon is among India's first accredited training partners delivering ITIL® (Version 5) — and to celebrate, every learner who certifies with us in May enters our "Certify & Celebrate" rewards draw.

    You future-proof your career. We make sure you remember the moment.

    Why ITIL® (Version 5) — and why now?

    This isn't a minor update. ITIL® (Version 5) is a rethink of the framework for a world where AI agents handle incidents, digital products replace static services, and value is co-created across complex ecosystems.

    AI-native by design

    Every role, practice, and value stream is structured to be augmented by AI, automation, and predictive intelligence.

    Digital Product & Service Management (DPSM)

    A unified approach connecting product thinking with service delivery.

    Modernised qualification scheme

    Foundation plus eight upper-level modules and one extension module across Practice Manager, Managing Professional, and Strategic Leader streams.

    Backward compatible

    Existing ITIL 4 Foundation holders don't need to retake Foundation — move directly into advanced V5 modules.

    What this means for your career: organisations are now actively seeking professionals who understand AI-enabled service management. Being certified in the latest version — months before most of the market — is a genuine differentiator on your résumé.

    Who Should Enrol

    IT Service Management professionals ready to lead AI-driven transformation
    DevOps & SRE engineers wanting to add governance, value-stream, and stakeholder skills
    Project & service delivery managers looking to modernise their toolkit
    Already ITIL 4 certified? Move directly into Version 5 advanced modules — your prior certification stays valid
    Brand new to ITIL? Start with ITIL Foundation (Version 5) — no prerequisites
